Amidst the wind and snow, there came waves of heartrending screams.

The Snow Demon fled to the edge of the Ice Soul Cave Heaven, but it still couldn't escape the lock of Xie Xuanyi's Divine Thought. Dozens of thick strands of Sword Qi surrounded it, relentlessly bombarding... This Great Demon was imprisoned within the Ice Soul Cave Heaven. It transformed into wind and snow, but was also trapped by this very wind and snow.

It did indeed flee very quickly.

But no matter how fast, it couldn't escape to another Cave Heaven nearby.

One could see the Snow Demon using all its might to defend, trying to condense the wind and snow into scale armor, but the Sword Intent surrounding the Life and Death Tao Realm was too sharp.

The wind and snow were as fragile as paper.

Xie Xuanyi controlled his sword, suspended high above this mass of wind and snow.

His expression was cold and indifferent, watching the Great Snow Demon constantly begging for mercy.

...

...

A few miles away.

Before the Sword Qi Stele, an elderly figure clad in a wide golden robe gathered.

In the entire Da Sui Sword Palace, those who could freely enter and exit this place were few.

Besides the current Guardian of Yuping Peak, Qi Lie, there were only two others.

The Sect Leader in seclusion.

And the Law Enforcement who resided long-term at Golden Turtle Peak.

"Lord Law Enforcement."

Seeing this figure, Jiang Miaoyin was somewhat surprised. She respectfully spoke, instinctively wanting to salute.

"No need for formalities."

Zhao Tongtian extended his palm, stopping Jiang Miaoyin's salute.

He stood in the wind and snow, looking into the distance with Jiang Miaoyin at the direction of the Sword Qi bombardment, and said softly, "You have been in seclusion in the 'Thirty-three Cave Heavens' for a long time, I had to come see you... I didn't expect that as soon as I came, I would see such a lively scene."

"Lord Law Enforcement indeed came at the right time…"

Jiang Miaoyin forced a smile, but her voice could not conceal her weariness: "If Miaoyin remembers correctly, Lord Law Enforcement should be overseeing the suppression of the Great Demon at Golden Turtle Peak…"

"The Vermilion Bird and I have ceased hostilities."

Zhao Tongtian said calmly, "No need to change the subject, and don't feel embarrassed. I have never had an interest in eavesdropping on others' conversations. Whatever you were discussing, I have no idea."

Upon hearing this.

The atmosphere instead grew even heavier.

"...Mm."

Jiang Miaoyin could only respond softly.

"In terms of Sword Dao cultivation, Xuanyi is an exceptionally brilliant pure jade."

Zhao Tongtian suddenly spoke, saying: "But in the matter of 'affection and emotion', he is an utter blockhead."

"Hmm?"

Jiang Miaoyin was taken aback.

"This is normal. There are no perfect Saints in this world... When Heaven opens a large door for him, it should close a window."

With hands clasped behind his back, Law Enforcement slowly said: "Many years ago, I was just like him, with my heart only set on the Grand Dao. Sometimes, people accustomed to 'companionship' forget the taste of 'loss'... As they say, young people do not believe in separation."

Jiang Miaoyin remained silent.

"It wasn't until the Battle of Poison that I understood these principles."

Zhao Tongtian sighed deeply: "Many people in this world... always learn to cherish only after loss."

"Lord Law Enforcement."

Jiang Miaoyin looked up, seriously questioning: "Did you really not eavesdrop?"

"Ahem."

Zhao Tongtian coughed lightly, somewhat annoyed: "What do you take this old man for? With the two of you together, what could be said? Given Xie Xuanyi's personality, could it be that he would come to the Thirty-three Cave Heavens to tie the knot?"

These words left Jiang Miaoyin unable to hold back laughter and tears.

Even though her Heart Lake still had feelings of loss.

But the accumulated shadows from before were completely dispelled.

"Lord Law Enforcement, in fact, Miaoyin has no other thoughts now."

Jiang Miaoyin thought for a moment and said seriously: "Senior Brother Xuanyi just told me about the 'Great Calamity of the Sword Palace', this is no child's play, not to be underestimated... You may not believe it, but even without this matter, Miaoyin only wishes to cultivate diligently, to pass through the upcoming Yin God Tribulation. Da Sui Sword Palace has finally welcomed a prosperous age, this opportunity is rare and invaluable."

"Why would I not believe?"

"This old man watched you grow up, I still understand your character."

Looking at the woman beside him, Zhao Tongtian sighed: "Back then, Xie Xuanyi was too dazzling, overshadowing the light of those around him... You have a delicate Sword Heart, never willing to lower your head or admit defeat. In terms of cultivation talent, you were second only to Tang Fengshu among the women of Great Chu of that generation."

Over the years.

Jiang Miaoyin's Sword Dao cultivation had never fallen behind.

Even self-sealed in Yuping, bedridden for ten years with a chronic illness, Baihua Valley's Ye Qinglian still could not be her match.

Because she liked Xie Xuanyi.

So in her youth, Jiang Miaoyin also practiced day and night, desperately trying to catch up to the one she loved.

This was not a simple matter...

Not just anyone could qualify to chase after Xie Xuanyi.

"Behind you is not just Da Sui Sword Palace's Yuping Peak, but also the Jiang Family of Qing State."

Zhao Tongtian said slowly: "The elder in the Jiang Family is already old, Jiang Qihu is about to assume the position of Imperial City Chief. Once he sits in that position, many of his actions will be restricted. The future head of the Jiang Family likely can only be you... If you can successfully break through and become a Yang God, then the Ten Heroes of the World will have a place for you."

"The seat of the Ten Heroes, I do not care for."

Jiang Miaoyin shook her head: "The matters of the Jiang Family are also too distant, Miaoyin currently only looks at the present, striving for every moment."

She gazed far into the direction of the Sword Qi's flickering.

"Lord Law Enforcement, do not worry about Miaoyin. Miaoyin willingly stays in seclusion here until she passes through the 'Ask Heart' tribulation."

Jiang Miaoyin softly smiled: "The greatest joy in this world is 'regaining what was lost'. To me, as long as Senior Brother is not dead, it is the best news in years... Now Miaoyin asks for nothing else, only for Senior Brother to be safe, and for the Sword Palace to be safe."

"..."

Upon hearing these words, Zhao Tongtian's expression was complicated, half pained, half comforted.
